Way too fricken early 2010 Cowboys mock

[KingintheNorth]

I hit the o-line and d-line pretty hard since it wasn't really addressed this off-season. Our 5th round pick belongs to Denver (Montrae Holland trade).

As always, comment on mine and/or post your own:

1 Adam Ulatoski T 6'8"/305 Texas

2 Jacoby Ford WR 5'10"/186 Clemson

3 Brandon Carter G 6'7"/354 Texas Tech

4 Kenrick Ellis DE/NT 6'5"/340 Hampton

6 Al Woods NT 6'4"/323 LSU

7 Jeff Byers C/G 6'3"/290 USC

I'm definitly targeting a LT in the first round. It really depends on if we make a move for Marcus Mcneil and plug him there for the next 7-8 years. Or sign Wilfork and get a LT in the first. I'd probably go the former route and sign Mcneil, draft a Terrance Cody in the first and a speedy Jacoby in the 2nd.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

are you sure Kenrick Ellis? dude was dismissed from South Carolina for failing multiple drug tests according to sources

doesn't sound like our type of prospect

I would move that OG down to the 4th round and take Wake Forest NT Boo Williams in the 3rd instead

Brandon Carter straight up just scares me.

LOL, I almost went with Boo Williams in the 4th round instead of Ellis. I'm just really intrigued by Ellis's size/speed ratio and I'm hoping he has matured past the mistakes he made at South Carolina. If there is still some questions about his character then he would be off my board. If he has grown up, he could be a monster 3-4 lineman.

lol, we both said Boo Williams

it's Boo Robinson

 

[Manwiththeplan]

I definately hope we get a LT in round 1 and a slot type reciever in round 2. Hopefully we can sign a NT in Free Agency and can target a pass rushing 3-4 DE in round 3.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I'll get in the game

1st: Texas OT Adam Ulatoski

2nd: Duke DT Vince Oghobaase

3rd: Clemson WR Jacoby Ford

4th: New Mexico C Erik Cook

6th: LSU DT Al Woods

7th: Memphis WR Duke Calhoun

Terrance Cody. Get familiar.

 

[KingintheNorth]

only 1 USC player. Taylor Mays is part of my sig. Jeff Byers is going to be a steal for someone. 6th year senior (hurt his sophomore and junior year) who started at center as a freshman. He's been healthy and played left guard the last 2 years. I think he'll play center in the NFL. He will excel at calling the plays on the line and making adjustments. I'd like to see him bulk up another 10 lbs but he is already very strong.

As far as Cody, I like him a lot too. I just hope he has the conditioning to make it in the NFL. He's so big that he can dominate in college but the strength of NFL linemen might negate that.

If we got McNeil would you trade most of your daft picks for Mays or Berry?

 

[BigBoy63]

I wouldn't mind that draft except for the fact of us taking 3 lineman, but as long as they will produce i dont care.

 

[KingintheNorth]

absolutely yes. with all of the draftees we added this year, if we could add McNeil and Mays or Berry, we would be set. The only question would be defensive line with so many potential free agents (Spears, Hatcher, Bowen).

McNeil solves our left tackle issues for the next 7 to 10 years. Mays and Berry will dramatically change whatever defense they play for.

I would even trade a 2011 #1 to move up and get Berry or Mays. That's how convinced I am that they are both game changing safeties.

I agree. I hope we basically buy out McNeil this year from the Chargers and Flo retires after this year.but I was wondering who you would pick. Mays OR Berry. I'd lean toward Berry because he's the whole package. I'm not sold on Mays's coverage skills yet.

Berry yes, Mays... hell no!

 

[KingintheNorth]

I know my USC brothers would crucify me for this but I would take Berry over Mays. I would be thrilled with either.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I think Michael Hamlin is the future at SS, but I would love to land Eric Berry

I'm using CBS NFL Draftscout's site for rankings. Meaning if they have a guy going in the 2nd round, I can't draft him in the 4th.

1 Dez Bryant WR 6-2/215 Oklahoma State - They currently have him as a 1st or 2nd rounder. Having seen this kid play I think he is going to rocket up the draftboards. He is physically strong and has exceptionally strong hands. Good speed and wants the ball. He has that TO-OchoCinco, gimme the ball mentality that may scare off some fans but this kid will make plays.

2 Sam Young T 6-8/328 Notre Dame - It hurts my heart to suggest a Notre Dame player but he's that big, massive and tough lineman that the Cowboys covet.

3 Boo Robinson NT 6-1/305 Wake Forest - We may be hurting for DE's next year and moving Jay Ratliff to end may be an option. Boo is a workmanlike nose tackle who played on a very good defense in 2009. How well he does this year without the help will determine how high he goes.

4 Brandon Carter G 6-6/344 Texas Tech - Big, nasty, and possibly crazy. Perfect.

5 (belongs to Denver)

6 Jeffrey Fitzgerald DE 6-4/278 Kansas State - Former University of Virginia star could also explode up the draftboards if he plays like he did in 2008.

7 J'Marcus Webb T 6-8/320 West Texas A&M - Small school, big boy.

That draft would be so legit. You really see Sam Young slipping to the 2nd? Brandon Carter is a beast!!! I hope he does his face paint in the NFL.
